About the project
Muoto™ is a new range of moulded fibre packaging aiming to replace fossil-based plastic packaging in multiple packaging applications, primarily focusing on food and food service packaging. The Muoto™ product idea has its roots in Metsä Group’s innovation company Metsä Spring, the roles of which include investing in and supporting potential innovations and technologies that find new purposes and higher value for Nordic wood.
Impact of the project:
Contributes in reducing Europe’s GHG emissions and its dependence on imported crude oil in the packaging sector; boosting Europe’s circular economy ambitions and tackling the challenges related to packaging waste.
Funding instrument Innovation Fund
Spinverse’s role
Spinverse contributed extensively to the proposal’s feasibility study, business plan and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission avoidance calculations during the intense proposal preparation phase. We also supported Metsä Group in the Grant Agreement Preparation (GAP) process.
The Innovation Fund application and Grant Agreement preparation phases are both very demanding, requiring expert teams with very special skills. Few, even big companies can alone meet these resource demands and thus, reaching out to expert organisations like Spinverse is a must. We are very pleased with the support we got from Spinverse working on the 3D Fibre project.
